Final answer:
Using the formula n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A n B), with n(A) = 63, n(B) = 18, and n(A n B) = 3, we find that n(A U B) = 78.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the number of elements in the union of two sets, A U B, we can use the formula n(A U B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A n B). The number of elements in set A, n(A), is 63. The number of elements in set B, n(B), is 18. The number of elements in the intersection of both sets A and B, n(A n B), is 3.
Now, we can substitute these values into the formula:
n(A U B) = 63 + 18 - 3 = 78
So, the number of elements in the union of sets A and B, or n(A U B), is 78.
